In the wake of the scandalous Kiss on the Lips party, Serena receives an ice cold reception from her friend, Blair.

So Dan and Jenny are talking about how Dan blew things with Serena the previous night.





Dan, a bit slow, agrees to go walk her to the door but bonks his head on the cab and instead decides to leave. Serena looks at him and he waves to her and the cab drives off.

Yep.

Serena is talking about the same thing with Eric.





That's the only logical conclusion. Guy waves at me? He must hate me.

Dan and Jenny continue talking about this because apparently GG can make a 10 minute long scene out of a wave.



But then Dan decides he's going to try and go and get Serena back.



And Serena confesses her crush on Dan.



Blair, meanwhile, is getting ready for the Bart Bass (Chuck's dad) hotel benefit brunch. Yep, all of today's drama will happen in the space of one day.

So she calls her boyfriend who is obviously hung over.



Nate wakes up Chuck who is in bed with two of the hotel staff. They leave and Chuck and Nate get talking about whatever drama nonsense happened last episode.



Serena decides to mend fences with Blair, who was glaring at her the whole time of the party, Nate decides to go see Serena, and so does Dan.

So Dan arrives and gets dirty looks from the receptionist man and sits and waits for Serena who just stepped out to go meet Blair, who is ignoring her calls.

And then Nate shows up to try and meet Serena as well.



Then Nate agrees to wait for her, seeing that Dan is also waiting for her, and Lily is obviously upset that Dan is waiting for her.

Goodness this show.

So Nate and Dan are awkwardly waiting for Serena.

Then Serena shows up at Blair's house and Blair is being a bitch towards her. Then Serena is all like "what's up I thought we were friends again?"



Serena asks who told her and Blair says Nate.



Blair tells her to stay away from her and her boyfriend and her friends.



After Serena leaves, Jenny shows up at Blair's house pretending to be returning some pens.



Jenny does want to know and Blair says they aren't saying anything about her. She says Chuck prefers talking about his conquests and not his victims, which implies he's done this before and PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY OKAY WITH THIS

Then she tells Jenny she can help her get dressed.

Lily and Rufus talk about Dan.



And Rufus says he's the kind of boy she does need. Lily also hints that she's seeing someone, but no one serious.

Then Chuck finds Nate and Dan waiting for Serena outside of the hotel and they of course get in to a fight because why not. Dan tries to punch Chuck again and Chuck wants to fight and Nate hold him back.



This is just... too much drama for one morning.

Blair doesn't like her dress and Jenny loves it and they talk about Dan's cabbage patch kid. Then when she finds out Jenny's brother is Dan and she asks if Jenny is Serena's friend. Jenny says she has nothing against her, but doesn't care if someone else does. Then Blair gives her the dress for her answer.



And Jenny is all like "omgthx"



Well this is promising. I'm sure this won't come back and bite her in the butt.

Dan finally finds Serena and basically asks her out to eat after some long drawn out nonsense.



Then Serena's mom shows up and acts like she will disown her daughter if she doesn't go to the brunch thing. Serena says she would but Dan is literally starving to death. The compromise is apparently her going WITH Dan.
